When you think you know someone, then you hear they've been slagging you off because of some cracks, then you get the ones oh it's more then we thought it would be could you so it for x amount cash, sorry love, I don't do a full shop at tesco for £100 and say to cashier oh that's abit expensive will you take £70. Idiots absolute idiots.
 
ha! Done a woman’s kitchen the other week. After I was done she said “ just to let you know I like a wee bargain so if I pay you cash I’d appreciate it “ while standing in her big fancy house. Looked at her an thought you miserable git. That’s how people like you have houses like this.

Hahaha, had that before, think they know more then you or try telling you how to do your job, went to a job today for a joinery firm, customer said I want that tidying up where your colleague took old curtain rail down, sorry but that's a timber frame I cant plaster on that it will crack and fall off, but your colleague said you can, he's a joiner not a plasterer.
 
Done a ceiling patch up last week where a ceiling rose had fell down,they was desperate to get it done as they was selling the house,so I quoted them £80 quid just over an hours work ,how much we got 2 walls done in the dining room for £130,i said ok let me know if you want it doing by end of the day or I'm putting somebody else in,they agreed to it but the old lady was driving a 69 plate range rover, f**k**g tight arse bitch
 
Believe it or not . Beside my Turkish friend . Only person who.s haggled price is a southerner I done some bits for. And it's been a fiver both times. Last time she said I prob had materials left from another job. I did but doesn't mean she gets em for free. Facking southern cants

My old man said to me once, some people are all fur coat no nickers, I know a few people that don't own a single thing it's all just on credit cards and loans, but if they genuinely are loaded and haggle you down is pathetic imo.

Only because you initially charged 130quid for 2 walls.

Why would anyone want to work every day for that little? Just work 2 days for good money and lose some

Fair enough.
I work with a guy quite often, he charges £125 a day, really good at his job.
I charge 300 minimum for a days work so when he works with me I'm on 475 he's on 125 for doing the same job. I never tell him what I charge, but he always says you can't get decent money round here. "yeah, know what you mean"

Price the job for what it's worth to you not what you think will scare the customer off

Think your right.. price your worth. Too many ones scrapping for the cheap price an never getting any further. Just because the guy is super busy doesn’t mean he’s making more than you. Anyone can be stacked with work when your pricing £120 a day. Or is the guy who’s pricing high an only getting a half the jobs but good payers, less taxing on the body/ making more in his hand an week. I know who I want to be.
